Turkey and Armenia have a strained relationship, dating back to the former’s massacre of the Ottoman Armenian population between 1915 and 1917. Why do we bring up such historical atrocities on a celebrity gossip site? Because Khloe Kardashian does so on this Sunday’s installment of her painful reality show, reacting to the possibility of her husband playing overseas in Turkey with a phone call to her uncle. Would it actually be permissible for someone of Armenian descent to live on that country? It’s a complicated question, but Khloe can at least take solace in the fact that it was contrived for television: Lamar Odom was never considering such a career move. Khloe & Lamar Clip: On the Move
Kris Humphries doesn’t need a lot of help on the basketball court. This power forward was fifth in the NBA last season in rebounding. But the former reality star is currently seeking assistance in divorce court, TMZ reports , as his Los Angeles attorney recently dropped out and California rules require a Minnesota attorney to be accompanied by local counsel. Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, will be represented by Laura Wasser, whose roster of past clients includes Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. As for Humphries’ trial hopes? “Kris would like there to be an admission that there was fraud, that there was a malicious intention by the Kardashians to use Kris and to make money and benefit themselves from him,” a source tells Life & Style . “He wants them to publicly admit that they never intended for it to be a real marriage.” In other Kardashian-related tabloid news: Kim is totally (NOT) planning to adopt !
John Mayer has been forced to cancel his spring tour. Due to a recurrence of his inflamed throat condition , the douchebag of an artist posted the following message on his Tumblr account today, explaining the change of plans and referencing his upcoming album: “I have no choice but to take an indefinite break from live performing. Though there will be a day when all of this will be behind me, it will sideline me for a longer period of time than I care to have you count down. “Okay, so here’s the plan… Born and Raised will be released as scheduled, but because I don’t make a very good anything-other-than-a-musician, I’m going to begin writing the next album very soon. “I’m pretty emotionally burnt out at the moment, but please know how hard I tried to resolve this and how disappointed I am that I can’t perform this record yet. I’m completely bummed, especially for all of you who started making plans to see a show. Nothing feels worse than having to break the stage down before the performance, and I mean nothing.” [Photo: WENN.com]

‘I like myself better off drugs … it’s about becoming mature,’ Cudi tells MTV News about recording after giving up marijuana. By Rob Markman Kid Cudi Photo: MTV News Kid Cudi doesn’t care what you think about his music — he likes it and that’s that! Last week, Cudders dropped his new Dot Da Genius-produced single, “Perfect Is the Word,” and it was quite different from what some fans were used to getting from the Cleveland representative. “I’m very proud of it; it’s something that a year ago I wouldn’t have ever imagined that I’d be able to do. It’s different, I get that,” Cudi told MTV News while on the set of his HBO show, “How to Make It in America.” “Some people are going to get it, some people aren’t. That’s cool. I just don’t really give a f— who does and who doesn’t. I mean, I care about the people that do, because that means, alright cool, there some people who have an open mind, who are smart and who get art.” The “Day N Nite” star has been transcending the lines of rap music with each new release, and on his latest song, Cudi goes for a distinctively dark rock feel. He is especially proud of the fact that he was able to play the guitar on the track and deliver something worth recording. “It’s just some people who are very one-track minded. The world that I am coming from, hip-hop, is so regurgitated and repetitive that some people are used to that and they don’t want change, they don’t like change,” Cudi maintained. “And I get that, that’s cool. Luckily for me, I’m confident in myself as an artist where I can do what I want, and as long as I’m cool with it, I’m cool with it.” “Perfect Is the Word” is the first track from Cudi and Dot Da Genius’ upcoming Wizard album , and while the song is different, it isn’t the only change that the musician has exhibited this year. In February, the G.O.O.D. Music artist took to Twitter to announce that he was leaving the Dream On label, which he launched back in 2009 with partners Patrick “Plain Pat” Reynolds and producer Emile Haynie. He also assured fans that he was still with Kayne West’s G.O.O.D. Music. That wasn’t all, though: In April, Cudi revealed that he’d quit smoking marijuana on his Tumblr page. The rapper, who used to call himself the Lonely Stoner, now is experiencing a bit of backlash, but he remains undeterred and is pleased with his new material. “There were a lot of write-ups where people were just sh–ting on it and there were a lot of people who were like, ‘We liked you better when you were on drugs,’ ” he said with disappointment. “It’s kinda like, ‘Man, OK, well you weren’t a fan to begin with so f— you,’ and I like myself better off drugs. So it’s about me and it’s about evolving and it’s about change. It’s about becoming a man; it’s about becoming mature.” Ultimately, Kid Cudi just wants room to grow. “Ten years from now I’m going look at my discography and I’m gonna be proud of it,” he said. “I don’t want to be 10 years from now looking at my discography, like, ‘Man, I was a f—ing knucklehead when I made that.’ ” What do you think of Kid Cudi’s post-marijuana work so far?

‘It’s the last time you will ever see me smoking,’ Cudi tells MTV News of Shia LaBeouf-directed clip. By Rob Markman Kid Cudi Photo: MTV News The lonely stoner may have quit smoking herb, but Kid Cudi’s latest video, “Marijuana,” will always serve as a reminder of his high times. The clip, which was shot and directed by Cudder’s actor pal Shia LaBeouf, was filmed in Amsterdam back in 2010 when Cudi served as a judge for the Cannabis Cup. LaBeouf originally reached out to Cudi through their mutual friend Cage because he wanted to shoot a short film centered around “MANIAC,” a song on Cudi’s second album, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager. “While we were brainstorming that, I had the gig to perform in Amsterdam. I was thinking about ways to do a video for ‘Marijuana’ because I knew I wanted to do something and I wanted to do the right thing,” Cudi told MTV News from the set of his HBO series “How to Make It in America.” “And it just hit me one day, like, ‘Yo, I can have Shia come with me and film the whole trip and we could do it like a real vintage documentary style of the entire trip.’ What could be iller than that?” The video shows Cudi and Cage arriving in Amsterdam, moving through a restaurant, their hotel and the famed red-light district smoking exotic strains of weed. Aesthetically, the “Marijuana” video comes off like old home footage thanks to LaBeouf’s 8 mm and 16 mm cameras. “That’s why it looks real vintage; that’s not an effect,” Cudi said. Some fans were confused by the video , however, given that on April 1, Kid Cudi announced on his Tumblr page that he had given up smoking weed. The singer/actor assures us that nothing has changed. “It’s something I did before I decided to quit smoking marijuana,” Cudders explained of the video. “However, I didn’t want to deprive people of the footage, deprive people of the video because of my personal decisions. It was almost like an R.I.P. video to my whole smoking career.” For Mr. Solo Dolo, there is no turning back; he insists that he is done with herb. “That was a big, big, memorable moment for me and watching it reminds me of those good times we had,” he said. “It’s kinda like the last hoorah, the last time you will ever see me smoking.” Related Artists Kid Cudi
Last week’s hot image meme, Privilege Denying Dude — and his creator, 20-year-old vegan feminist Diana Lopez — struck a cord across the interwebs. Usually a medium reserved for hilarious frat-boy culture and fart jokes, Lopez used the meme aesthetic to address privilege.
